Answer:
As the ice expands, it pushes water toward the closed faucet. This causes an immense amount of water pressure to build between the ice blockage and the faucet — eventually, the pipe ruptures under the pressure, usually at a spot where there's little or no ice.

Explanation:
Why Do Pipes Burst in Winter? ... Without going into too much scientific detail, when water freezes inside pipes, the water molecules expand. The ice then expands and pushes the water toward the faucet, causing a significant amount of pressure buildup between the ice blockage inside the pipe and the faucet.
